French pilots are claiming easyJet is risking passenger and crew safety by scheduling too many flights.
Captains are being pressed into flying more hours than they are legally allowed and face intimidation if they refuse, the pilots’ union says.
In an open letter to the company’s main shareholder, Stelios Haji-Ioannou, the union says the flight schedule is “unrealistic” and has sparked numerous delays and last-minute cancellations.
“A red line has been crossed and we are very shocked,” Arnaud Wiplier, president of the easyJet section of the Syndicat National des Pilotes de Ligne (SNPL), said. “The airline has eyes bigger than its stomach; the schedules are not possible.”
